FORTY-THIRD CONGRESS, 1873-1875. 723 



3,000 copies shall be furnished to the Senate and House 2,000 for 

 the House and 1,000 for the Senate- and that the remaining 4,500 

 shall be for the Institution. 



Mr. DONNAN. I have no objection to the House voting on that 

 amendment. 



Mr. E. R. HOAR. I did not understand whether the motion of the 

 gentleman from Indiana was to add to the number. 



Mr. HOLMAN. No; but to divide the number proposed so as to give 

 a portion to the Senate and to the House. 



Mr. HOAR. I desire to say that this number is only what the Smith- 

 sonian Institution desires for distribution, according to its systems, 

 among the libraries and colleges of the country, and for its exchanges. 

 I do not think it would be proper or wise for the House to take away 

 a part of the ordinary number furnished to this Institution for the 

 purpose of distributing this document to favored constituents of mem- 

 bers of the House. If members desire copies for distribution I 

 think they should add to and not diminish the regular supply to the 

 Institution. I move to amend the amendment so that the number 

 proposed for the House and Senate shall be in addition to the number 

 proposed by the resolution. 



Agreed to. 



The resolution as amended was concurred in.

 be printed, 2,000 copies of which shall be for the use of the House of Representa- 

 tives, 1,000 for the use of the Senate, and 7,500 for the use of the Institution: Proinded, 

 That the aggregate number of pages of said report shall not exceed 450, and that
